The fact that some in this topic are trying to defend it is just... Dang, how sheltered ARE you??? xD
Oftentimes "sheltered" = "being loved and supported".

"If you can't interview without your parents, then I'm going to assume you can't work without them either."
Nonsense. Possibly having anxiety over something as important as a job interview doesn't translate into job performance. There are people who interview terribly and are great employees, as well as vice versa.
As long as the parent isn't the one actually doing the interview for them, I see nothing wrong with having that moral support.
The parent can also be beneficial if the interviewer is trying to lie during the interview process with something say a first-time employee has never experienced and their parent has experienced plenty of times during their past interviews/employment.
I've never had a parent for an interview, however if I did and someone was trying to feed me some bullshit about how "we have to pay you shit because that's the standard" and my dad/mom was like "actually it's not, you're trying to undercut my son on what they should be paid" then that seems like a good thing.
HR representatives/interviewing managers are some of the most bullshit people around who will gladly lie to your face for their company's benefit.
